Urea plant
We have forwarded your inquiry concerning a
stand-by plant for urea* to our competent office. However, we would like to say
briefly now that we think it would be much more economical to stockpile the
required amounts in the safety zone than to build an installation for only
5,000 tons of urea per year.
Since the urea factory at Oppau has been
partly idle for a long time, the desired securing of the urea supply in case of
emergency could be achieved in a far shorter time and at less cost to the
national economy by stockpiling rather than by creating a suitable production
site. |
